Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

On the Electrical and Information Technology degree programme at THI, you will learn to design, develop and operate electrical and information technology systems. The spectrum ranges from the tiniest microchips and sensors, through smartphones and control units, to electric vehicles and large-scale industrial plants.

At the start of the programme, you will acquire the fundamental knowledge of mathematics, electrical engineering, physics and programming that is essential for a career in engineering. Exercises and practical laboratory sessions will help you to apply what you have learnt straight away.
As your studies progress, you will deepen your knowledge in the core areas of electrical and information technology and can set your own individual focus through optional modules. You will also have various opportunities to study abroad.
During the work placement semester, you will gain valuable experience in a company, work on engineering-related tasks and establish your first professional contacts. In a team project, you will work with other students to develop an electrical and information technology system and apply your knowledge in a practical context.
Accompanying seminars will equip you with skills in academic research and in the professional presentation of technical findings. The degree programme culminates in a Bachelor’s thesis, which you will complete either within a company or in one of THI’s laboratories.
